"In the heart, where the flames burn, that's my novel"
Is the novel like a flame for novelist Han Kang, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature
?

Han described it as something like, "Fiction is what we need and the thread that connects us."

Writer Han Kang said she heard the unexpected news of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature while having dinner with her son.

"I'm very surprised and honored," he said. "After the phone call, I'm going to celebrate quietly with my son who doesn't drink tea."

I shared my feelings about the Han River.

Korean literature, which was treated as a periphery of world literature, is now at the center of the world as the Hallimwon chose Korea, not China or Japan.

Han Kang won the Nobel Prize in Literature eight years after winning the Booker Prize for his novel The Vegetarian,

It proved the status of Korean literature only with the power of writing.
